Sick time accrues monthly. Sick leave accrues at a rate of 8 hours per month for all eligible full time employees.

All eligible non-police, non-fire employees receive 13 paid holidays per calendar year. On these days, city offices are closed with the exception of the Emergency Services departments. Because these offices must be open and available 365 days a year, Police and Fire Department employees are compensated for these days by receiving a higher rate of vacation time accruals.

Floating holidays total 24 hours per year. Floating holiday hours do not carry over from year to year.

Funeral Leave is allowed, up to 24 hours, for eligible employees for the funeral of a person in the employee’s family. For a list of eligible family members, please refer to the Personnel Manual.
